SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 1.-THE Frank
Scott murder trial, which was begun
in district court week ago last Mon
day, was brought to close last after
noon, and after debating two hours
the jury brought in a verdict of guilty,
and assessed III punishment at hard
labor in prison for life. This is the
celebrated Robbers Cave horror. The
evidence in the case was entirely cir
cumstantial, bat there was not miss
ing link, and the jury had no hesitancy
in pronouncing the defendant guilty.
There were over one hundred witness

made it very interesting is that the

jected TO be built from Laredo 10 the
City of Mexico via the Tampico or

TO Micr, Mexico. All The iron for the
bridge across the Rio Grande at the
end of the International track, except
one span, has been laying at Laredo
for three years. The statement is now
made that this missing span will ar
rive in few day s, which indicates
that the bridge will be constructed at
an early day. The report is current
that unless Galveston secures direct

Just come TO public attention in Wilkin-

proudest slavc-owners in that section
was Col. Downing. He was the ownes
of large tracts of land as well rs OF
numbers of slaves. When the troubles
of 1861 came on. he was the rankcst
secessonist in the county. The strug
yle left him land poor. Acre by acre
he sold it of, being unable to squars
himself with the new order of things.
At last. when all his land was gone and
his family dead, he was affected with
blindness and was in danger OF being
put in the county poor-houSe. They
must not do that with old master. said
Joe Downing.
Joe and his brother Peter were the
slaves of Col. Downing before the war
and always went under his name.
While their old master was going down

LABOR TROUBLES.
The Situation is Decided Against the
knights of Labor.

New YORK, Feb. 1l.--lieports were
current yesterday to the effect that a
settlement between the strikers and
the Reading Road is not satisfactory
to the men, and that they complain
Mr.. Corbin has virtually conceded
nothing. One OF the knights conced-
ed yesterday that the hitch in the
agreement upon which the knights
were stranded was the clause where
thu railroad president agreed to raise
the wages OF the men from 70 to 22@
cents, the same as at Port Richmond,
when work Is resumed at the former
place.
$50 far as know" said the speaker,
"this means nothing, for do not be
lieve work will be resumed at Eliza
bcthport."
Several others gave uttcrance to the
same remarks quoted above, and the
men seem to feel that they had been
entrapped by the provisions regard
ing work at Elizabcthport. Whether
they will break the agreement or not
remains to be seen.
Mr.. Maxwell, the associate of Presi-
dent Corbin, who was called upon by
United Press reporter with regard
TO these utterances,. said: "lf words
mean anything the Reading trouble is
settled, and we now have papers
signed to show that this is the case.
Mr.. Putnam, one of the arbitrators on
behalf of the knights of Labor, even
told me when he left me that he
thought the Reading troubles were
now settled for many years"
That the strike is broken, so far as
the freight handlers and longshoremen
are concerned, cannot be gainsaid. At
many of the piers the strikers ore APP
plying for work and embracing any
opportunity that offers for re-employ-
ment. Goods are being handled at
various tiers with as much alacrity as
previous to the strike. The freight
which accumulated during the first
few days of the strike is now being
rapidly disposed OF, all piers being well
supplied with men.
AT Brooklyn the longshorcmen con-
tinue to hold out on the strike along
Brooklyn river front. Men who are at
work are leaving their business rapid
ly, and there is not so much delay in
loading and discharging vessels as
there was week ago. Coal cart d. iv-
ers are returning in several of the rail
coal yards, and they are not molested

Persian BARRIERS.


In Persia the barber slaves the heads

and shampoos their bodies. DIR. wills,

Persia for many years, being attached

who insisted the barber would say that
the English physician had called to
learn of him how to practice surgery
and medicine.
The shop was little square room,
with one side open to the street. In the
center vas tiny bed of flowers sunk in
the floor, from the middle of which rose
an octagonal stone column yard high.
The capital of the column formed a re-
ceptacle for the water in which the bar
Der dipped his hand as he shaved his

On the earthen platform outside OF
the shop sat burly man, whose beard
was dyed an orange color. II was full
of yellow mud (the henna in paste),
and bound up with cabbage leaves to
prevent too rapid evaporation.
The shop was very clean. On two
recesses were displayed four vases fill
ed with flowers, and the implements of
the BARRIERS art, scissors, razors lam
Gets, hand-mirrors, large pincers to ex-
tract teeth, branding-rons to cautorzo

combs; but not hair brush, for the
implement is not used by Persians.
From tho barber's grdle hung
round copper water-bottlc, his strap, and
a pouch TO hold his instruments. IN
his bosom was small mirror, the pre-.
sentation of which to his customer is a
sign that the job is finished, and that
the barber waits for his pay.
Customers came to submit their heads
to the BARRIERS hands, and to have their
paralized arms shampooed. When

gossip.
